Pagosa Springs was named by the Utes who called the hot springs "Pagosah,"
or "healing waters." This little town, surrounded on three sides by the
San Juan National Forest, is a good place to get away from it all. Explore
the mystery of the only mountain home of the Anasazi at nearby Chimney Rock Ruins where these ancient farmers lived some 1,000 years ago. The
twin pinnacles were once a scared shrine to the "Ancient Ones". Later,
the unusual formations were a landmark for prospectors, missionaries and
conquistadors who settled this rugged country. While clambering among
the ruins, keep an eye out for the endangered peregrine falcon which nests
here. Enjoy the town's hot springs, considered to be the hottest in the
world. Windsurf, water-ski and sail on Navajo Lake, which extends southward
35 miles into New Mexico.

The Weminuche and South San Juan wilderness
areas' untouched beauty are only accessible on foot or horseback. The
